Monkey Baa's take on ‘Pete the Sheep’ is a funny
and engaging treat that goes beyond simply
putting a picture-book favourite on the stage.
There's a chance that it will provide stimulus for
real conversations about language and theatre and
difference. And challenging the herd mentality.

PETE THE SHEEP
ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY EVA DI CESARE, SANDRA ELDRIDGE & TIM
MCGARRY
BASED ON THE BOOK BY JACKIE FRENCH AND BRUCE WHATLEY
Shaun isn’t like the other Shearers in Shaggy Gully…
...he’d rather be styling than shearing and instead of ‘sheep-dog’,
he has a ‘sheep-sheep’ named Pete. After being rejected by the
shearers and their dogs, Shaun and Pete set up their own Shearing
Salon in town and before long word is out and they are inundated
with woolly clients and maybe a Ringer or two!
This hilarious show, imaginatively told by four performers playing
shearers, dogs and sheep explores the challenges and rewards of
being an individual and will be a lasting tribute to honouring your
own spirit and strength, whilst working with the flock.
Adapted by Monkey Baa in 2014 from the picture book by Jackie
French and Bruce Whatley, with foot-tapping music and lyrics by
Phil Scott and comedic direction by Jonathan Biggins.
